Happy Sunday. I’m awake before the rest of my family today, watching an episode of Marie Kondo’s new Netflix show, drinking coffee, and writing this post. Waking up 30 minutes to an hour before my 2-year-old with coffee and alone time sets the tone for a great day.

Last weekend I offered to bake something for brunch with a few friends. I planned on making my mom’s homemade cinnamon rolls, but I ran out of time, so I settled on muffins instead. I love banana bread muffins that are super banana-y. To get the best banana flavor I use three large, slightly ripened bananas.

To avoid refined sugar, I use maple syrup to sweeten the muffins. With the sweetness of bananas, you can get away with a lot less sugar in this recipe (1/3 instead of 1 cup). This muffin recipe is based on Sarah’s Banana Bread Muffins on all recipes.
